People fled their homes when Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast. Some took their pets, but
few supplies such as food and treats. Others had to leave their animals behind, and animal groups
are trying to rescue them now.

If you want to help the animals and the rescue groups that are trying to save them, here are
just a few organizations accepting donations.

PetSmart dispatched six emergency relief trucks filled with $80,000 worth of
supplies for displaced pets. The trucks are going to a distribution center in Syracuse, N.Y., and
the supplies will be handed out through local animal welfare organizations. You can learn more or
donate on their
website.

The American Kennel Club started a permanent charitable fund to help search and
rescue animals working after the hurricane, veterinarians who are providing medical care and
shelters that are housing displaced pets.

The Humane Society of the United States is also assembling workers and equipment
to help animals hurt in Hurricane Sandy. Their
website gives information on how to help.

The
ASPCA is delivering crates, food and other supplies to evacuation centers in the
affected areas. Visit their
site for more information.
